Cevy II oil pan to later model block dipstick?

I am installing a later model 350 in my 56 fairlane with a chevy II oil pan.
What did you guys do to fill the old dipstick tube hole in the block? Thanks in advance.


Sorry in the ***le that should be Chevy II oil pan.

 

Try chevy IIs only....think joe sells a one piece rear pan

 

A 3/8th plug like this http://www.imperialsupplies.com/item/0067010

3/8 freez plug from auto zone

 

Thanks guys I will get one during lunch tomorrow.

 

Dont want hijack the thread buy Is the Chev II pan shallower than a standard pan?
I need to lose an inch or so of oil pan depth wiith my 88 SBC and
cannot move the motor up.

 

it is 3/8 shallower but it sumps in the front instead the back

 

the pump is also shorter

 

I believe your engine is to new for that type of oil pan. The ChevyII oil pan has the sump towards the front of the engine.
There is shallow 4 qt oil pans available, but make sure it's for your 88 engine.

 

Do you want a picture of them side by side? I can take some in the morning if you like.
Like others have said, It is a front sump pan.(The reason I am useing it)

 

Oil pump shaft is shorter too

 

Thanks for pic offer but I didn't know it was a front sump pan.
Guess I'll keep looking .
thanks again

 

I have installed several small block Chevys in 54 to 56 fords. The Y block that came in these cars had a front sump..You need the front sump pan for clearance. on a circle track car I made the pan wider for more capacity. On a highway car the stock pan will work fine. I never had a problem with the short oil pump . Just make sure the oil pick up has the extra brace for support..................... You can use a rear sump Chevy pan but you will have to do a lot of fab work................................. Drop tie rods don't work very well with this rear set up............................... I used the 66 Chevy truck side mounts {single bolt hole} just elongate the exist hole on the cross member and it will work fine. same for the trans mount and use a trans mount from a 64 Chevelle................ Back to the dip stick question just install a site gl*** on the side or if you widen the sump use a circle track dip stick that is mounted on the pan.. I hope you can understand what I typed. Good luck Bobby.
